4 Rochester

“Men invented war so they could be among themselves. In peacetime, they have bike racing.” Gabriele Rolin But what does it mean when we insist on waging war upon ourselves, flagrantly dismissing dubious weather forecasts, common sense, and good advice from friends in some perverse determination to...

I don’t think the target for Bicycle Photo Tag #11 is that hard to find, but it’s been months since I posted it, so here’s a refresh: Maybe too many people have left Rochester to play Bicycle Photo Tag anymore. Prove me wrong, folks!

On my cruiser ride today I was able to stop for a moment and take in the view of Bicycle Photo Tag #10:   This next photo tag target is kind of easy. These distinctive gates were at the last stop on last night’s Critical Mass:   Have at it, Rochester crew!

Julie’s Horse of Many Different Colors was found a while back by Brian Killmore, Nick Fiocca, and Rob, but they hadn’t been able to get it posted to the site. Brian sent me the pics tonight along with this note: “The old spot was Monroe High School on Alexander ave. Fiocca and I rode...

I’m re-posting, with a hint, to see if we can get this game up and rolling again before the snow and ice melt! Here’s my blurry cell phone picture again… And the hint–my bike is not in the picture because this horse is on the second floor of the building, and the building is a...

I immediately recognized the site of Tag #7, but didn’t have time to get there before Joey Mac. Lucky for me, he and his crew chose a nearby site for #8, right in my neighborhood, and I stopped by on Tanya’s bike, on my way to drop it off at Full Moon for a [...]

It took a team of four riders cruising around town to some rockin beats on the radio to triangulate the position of target #7, but we found it, on the corner of South and Alexander (across the corner from our favorite tex-mex place). We posed for a shot, Eric, Nick, Myself and Killmore, but as we [...

The streets in the city of Rochester are pretty much empty of motorists in the evening, which makes for excellent bike riding conditions. It was on a lovely evening last weekend that I grabbed a photo of myself at the location of Bicycle Photo Tag #6. The purple-walled spot in Manhattan Square Park is...

Adam’s Mustachioed Hero was easy to locate with the B&L building so prominently featured in the background. The problem was bringing decent photo equipment out in the snow and 10°F weather. But saturday afternoon, after hitting up some John’s Tex Mex, Karl, Nick, and I cruised on downtown...

Caitlin and I co-authored a love letter to bike pooling back when we commuted together. Now that I work at a different office, I no longer share a commute with her - but that doesn’t mean I can’t ride with her to her workplace just for fun. So that’s what we do every Friday. While Jason...
